His first job on track is to put the Ferrari back into first place!His soft-tyre run is marginally faster than Hamilton's super-soft effort...

I was referring to F1today:

FOR REFERENCE...
The best time from yesterday was a 1:20.960 from Kimi Raikkonen yesterday. That was set on the medium tyres.

no guys it was definetly softs.And Ham was on ss~~

**fronaldo** · 1st March 2017, 09:45

F1today was wrong..That quotes comes from them..How dare they forget that

**SinanOzerS** · 1st March 2017, 09:46

Sorry my bad, Hamilton did 1.20.9 on SS, Kimi did with S not M.

He set it on the softs and was marginally ahead of Ham on the super softs. F1today is incorrect.

**PURE PASSION** · 1st March 2017, 09:49

on 1 hand ,i would love to see Vet coming out with those yellows and beat them,BUT we might have a different program.Bottas will give his place to Ham ,while Vet might try in the afternoon.

**fronaldo** · 1st March 2017, 09:54

That time by Bottas was fast..We might see time dip into under 1m20s..Lets hope we not touch SS or US yet

And we have now

Bottas set 1:19.838 using SS

**Frank Dhont** · 1st March 2017, 09:57

We pushed Mercedes into Doom & gloom mode.
Hope Ferrari stays on mediums for now.

**mizf1** · 1st March 2017, 09:59

Just out of interest, does any know what sort of lap time we are looking at if it was a quali run? Low 1.18's, high 1.18's etc?

**phsyklone** · 1st March 2017, 09:59

merc is realy pushing now it seem. have they exposed them selves too early ?

**mizf1** · 1st March 2017, 10:04

Slightly digressing, 1 team has made changes to their suspension after the FIA issued clarification yday.

I wonder which team it is, my money is on McLaren

**farid-baku** · 1st March 2017, 10:05

I dont think so they dont push my opinion it 1:17-1:18 real times MB sang us usual

**mizf1** · 1st March 2017, 10:09

Just under 1 hour until lunch, Ham will take over from Bottas so I think he will try to get more laps in before he finishes for the day.

Tomorrow I think it is wet testing

**mizf1** · 1st March 2017, 10:12

Whats up with HAAS, should be out there getting some engine data for us as they done the least of all teams so far today

**phsyklone** · 1st March 2017, 10:18

13:17 I know the Mercedes has broken into the 1m19s bracket on super-softs, but watching at the fast Turn 9 right-hander the Ferrari doing 1m21s on mediums still looks the most impressive car to me. It just looks so stable and consistent.

Bit worried at how nice he's being about our car..

**jgonzalesm6** · 1st March 2017, 10:20

Hopefully we see some sub 1:18's today....if not, tomorrow then

**SinanOzerS** · 1st March 2017, 10:21

Bottas 1.19:705 with Ultra-Softs, that's not impressive at all.

**phsyklone** · 1st March 2017, 10:21

looks like merc are doing what we did last year.

**Bonecrasher** · 1st March 2017, 10:22

Mercedes 8/10ths faster than Ferrari on the same tyre? Yikes!

**phsyklone** · 1st March 2017, 10:23

all merc fans and the media will have an orgasm when looking at the mercs times and say they are running away with the championship this year as well
